The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6414, seeks to amend section 31-23 of the general statutes to permit minors who have reached the age of fifteen to work in retail stores. The bill aims to align the working conditions for fifteen-year-olds in retail stores with those already established for their peers working in retail food stores.
Specifically, the bill introduces new legal language that allows for this employment under the same conditions as those applicable to minors in grocery stores, thereby expanding job opportunities for young individuals in the retail sector. There are no deletions from the current law mentioned in the text, indicating a straightforward addition to the existing regulations governing minor employment in retail settings.
